iis it acceptable to use patio / decking cleaner near a protected tree, i am planing to power wash some decking built around the base of the tree, and the patio slabs are very close (so the water will contain patio cleaning fluid) is this acceptable. Can anyone help Best regards Ed

Just seen a top handle chainsaw STIHL MS 201T advertised on Gumtree !, looks good (too good), the owner is a Squadron Sergeant in the British Army and wants to use Paypoint ................ surely it's a scam

55 and a complete novice (spent the last 30 years working in an office), Sorry I never did this when I was young (not that I am doing much now ) apart from practicing in my own garden)....... Great way to keep fit : lots of respect for you guys doing this all the time (young and old)

Hi all, I am a novice climber (passed my test in December), I do keep myself very fit but I'm probably too old for climbing trees at my age (55), I was wondering what the average age is of ( Arbtalk members who climb everyday), did any other Arbtalk members become climbers (as old as me ).

This week was the only time I have ever used rope and I think it was 13mm, If I'm honest the 11.7 does not look any different (but I'm sure experienced climbers would notice the difference)

Many thanks for the quick reply, the rope was advertised as Yale XTC Hendera 130 under the heading 13mm ropes (but received 11.7 120), knowing very little I thought the size was related to the strength, but I think you have answered my question, thanks again for your prompt reply (I will keep the 11.7)

Hi All, I ordered some rope (Yale Hedera 13mm) but I was sent Yale 11.7, I am a novice climber would the 11.7 be sufficient ?, any advice very much appreciated.
